To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward proposals to amend animal welfare legislation to give greater protection to cats injured or killed in road traffic accidents.
The Department has no plans at present to bring forward proposals to amend legislation ON reporting animal deaths on the road. However, the police do advise drivers that, if possible, they should make enquiries to ascertain the owner of domestic animals such as cats, and inform them of the situation. In addition, Rule 286 of The Highway Code also advises drivers to report any accident involving an animal to the police.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure (a), Northern Lincolnshire, (b) East Yorkshire and (c) other rural areas have suitable road infrastructure to encourage economic growth.
The Department and Highways England both recognise the importance of connecting rural areas to the rest of the country and invest in the strategic road network accordingly. Highways England’s strategic economic growth plan has identified the reliance of rural tourism and firms that deal with agricultural, raw materials or other large manufactured goods on its network. In Northern Lincolnshire, Highways England completed a £93million scheme to improve the A160/A180 Brocklesby interchange. In East Yorkshire, Highways England plans to improve the A63 Castle Street in Hull; a consultation on this scheme was undertaken in January 2017.
Other roads in rural areas are the responsibility of local highway authorities. The Department announced in July that it would define a Major Road Network, improvements to which could be funded from the National Roads Fund. A public consultation on the details of the Major Road Network and how funds will be allocated is due to commence before the end of the year.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans he has to increase the availability the Automatic Numberplate Recognition Camera to Road Safety Partnerships to tackle the incidence of speeding.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans he has to increase the availability the Automatic Numberplate Recognition Camera to Road Safety Partnerships to tackle the incidence of speeding.
There are no current plans to increase the availability of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera technology to Road Safety Partnerships to tackle speeding.
The development of ANPR systems is governed by the National ANPR Standards for policing (NASP). Part 2 of the NASP states each camera installation has to be in response to a pressing policing need and supported by a privacy impact assessment to ensure camera locations are justified.
Only specifically configured and type-approved cameras may be used for speed enforcement in court. Cameras currently within the National ANPR Infrastructure (NAI) are not type-approved for speed enforcement and the purposes of the NAI do not currently include speed enforcement.
